keep

[edit]

I'm voting for a keep. There's no way to prove she wrote it herself. It's definitely suspicious, but there's no way to counter a claim that Plotz wrote it and that it's therefore totally legit. They're a married couple, so that IP would have been the same either way. Everyone should just chill Mardiste (talk) 23:16, 27 June 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Huh? Is this apropos of anything at all? --CAVincent (talk) 05:49, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's a propos of the allegation that she wrote her own Wikipedia entry. Mardiste (talk) 20:40, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

She most likely did, since this article is obviously sanitized. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.131.153.242 (talk) 03:49, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

college?

[edit]

I can find no record of HR attending college. Is it possible that she is not a college graduate? Hedgehogfox (talk) 18:19, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Stanford University. Answered my own question. Hedgehogfox (talk) 21:07, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Folks,

I knew Hanna well in high school and have followed her career. All of this is accurate. She was in fact, with her partner David Coleman (at Stuyvesant High School), by far the best debate "duo" in the United States in 1986 and 1987. She and David were the only team that my partner and I never managed to beat. Hanna went to Stanford, for sure. David, also my friend, went to Yale. Then Hanna went to work for The New Republic...after that I lost track. But the early stuff is definitely true.

Sales figures? Failure?

[edit]

The use of book sales figures from Nielsen Book Scan here is problematic, and raises both NPOV and WP policy on living persons ("Criticism and praise should be included if they can be sourced to reliable secondary sources, so long as the material is presented responsibly, conservatively, and in a disinterested tone."). It's impossible to say from raw sales figures whether a book was a "success" or not; a book may garner good reviews, but not sell as well as expected, and the proportion of sales to expected sales, or advances, would be important too. Unless some outside, impartial reliable source, such as Publisher's Weekly, says the sales were poor or disappointing, I think this article should not opine on the matter -- don't think the figures themselves should be used but would like more input on that issue from others.

Bibliography

[edit]

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.
